COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OR COMPARATIVE RESPONSIBILITY -- EFFECT OF
CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE. Contributory negligence or comparative responsibility
shall not bar recovery in an action by any person or his legal representative
to recover damages for negligence, gross negligence or comparative
responsibility resulting in death or in injury to person or property, if such
negligence or comparative responsibility was not as great as the negligence,
gross negligence or comparative responsibility of the person against whom
recovery is sought, but any damages allowed shall be diminished in the
proportion to the amount of negligence or comparative responsibility
attributable to the person recovering. Nothing contained herein shall create
any new legal theory, cause of action, or legal defense.
